According to a statement from the Anya Myay Pittaingtounlayz Group, 46 military vessels arrived at Alon Min Dein jetty in Monwya city on the morning of July 4.

It was learned from local residents that on the morning of July 6, 28 of these vessels sailed upstream along the river from Alon Min Dein jetty, reaching the vicinity of Min O village and Ai Taung village in Kanigyi Township. It has been learned that as the Chindwin River swells during the rainy season and the river channel widens, the military group has been actively using warships for the transport of weapons and ammunition. Due to the threat from this convoy, over 10,000 residents from about 10 villages along the riverbanks have been displaced to safety starting from 8:30 AM yesterday.
